Sounds like a guy who is still reeling from shock. That lethargic, fatigued eyes, that lack of confidence in his speech.
Xi really put a number on Trudeau there.
Even though he's a dog, you can't mentally abuse a dog like that man.
Why Trudeau had to run straight to the restroom after talking to Xi
Why is Trudeau such a snow flake? Xi didn't even raise his voice. Most Asian children survive way harsher scolding from their teachers. As an unruly youth I was routinely screamed at, forced to squat, faced the wall for over an hour, and had my exam paper torn up. Would Trudeau have committed suicide if that happened?
To me, Canadians are the slimiest of them all. They are always so two-faced and pretend to be “sorry” and polite all the time. Reminds me of the Japanese. Makes me want to throw up every time I see a Canadian make a “sorry” joke.
No, Trudeau was probably told as a child he was a "champ". "Here's a trophy for you for participating."
It must be true a white guy said it

The fat one is for sure a football (soccer for you heathens) fan with all the dramatic rolls he is doing on the spot. Notice the expert technique as he rolls back and forth, but never too far from the spot of initial contact so the referee would know where to award the free kick.
Although fair play to him since he is by far the least beaten up of his racist little group, so the technique obviously has real world application as well. Who knew!
Jai Hind.
I know a lot of people here are diaspora/living in the West so you might not like me for this but frankly more minority tension only benefits China, whether it means more unrest or attracting more Chinese talent back home
@KYli's assessment is about "the good day of Australian Iron ore export to China" is soon over. However "urbanization" being the central factor doesn't precisely or fully reflect the assessment.
The more precise representation is "Iron/Steel accumulation per capita"/人均钢铁蓄积量. At the peak, UK reached 7.6t per person, US 8.8t, Japan 10.5t. Afterwards, they mostly recycled their accumulated iron/steel without digging up or import more iron ore. This is the indication of finishing their industrialization. It is also finishing their urbanization because the two are the two faces of the same coin.
China by 2020 has reached 7.5t per person. The trend seems to indicate that the figure goes up over time, so the projected figure for China's peak is 11t by 2030 (from ).
There is still 8 years, however the paper also said that many countries' past data has shown that after 8t per person the recycling volume increases significantly. That means import of iron ore will begin to drop significantly. The paper also said that China has exempted recycled steel from importation ban on waste from 2021. Recycled steel is cheaper and cleaner to make than from iron ore, using less energy and water.
pointed out this interesting thing that even though in early 2021 the demand of steel was high, China insisted in limiting steel production even if that hurt part of manufacturing sectors. This is a long term policy to prepare for the soon coming peak steel accumulation. Instead of a sudden stop of importing iron ore and hurting the steel industry (by 2030) who has equipped its primary production capacity in using iron ore today China is preparing the industry to transit their production capacity to full recycling by 2030.
The conclusion is that the days of China importing large volume of iron ore is over and will never come back. The import will gradually and steadily decrease to a full stop in 8 years. That is the reason behind "the good days are over".
